Introduction of SAP on January 1st, 2011 and further development of BTC Europe

Dear customer of BTC,

We care about the success of your company. Therefore we, at BTC, are always endeavouring to optimise our structures and processes. Having this in mind, 2011 we will take a big step forward:

In order to improve networking with the BASF Group companies and within the European BTC companies, we are replacing our current ERP system with SAP. The new system will allow us to improve our supply and delivery reliability, ensure smooth running of all processes and offer improved access to our European warehousing capacity. The BTC companies in Germany and Benelux will work with SAP from January 4th, 2011 onwards, the BTC companies in UK, Nordic, France, Italy und Iberia from March 2011 onwards.

The majority of accounting will be carried out centrally by BASF Services Europe GmbH in Berlin. The outsourcing of administrative tasks will allow us to concentrate more on your customer requirements. Of course our local BTC companies will remain your contact partner for all matters concerning products, services and orders.

BTC is also having a make-over: In order to reinforce the personality, professionalism and flexibility of BTC, we are presenting ourselves with a new logo.

Please take the dates given in the sheets into consideration during your requirement planning, since we are unlikely to be making any deliveries during this period. Please forward the information to the relevant departments within your company. We look forward to continuing the successful business relationship with your company in the future. Any questions or requests?Your local BTC contact would be pleased to help.
